Design X is a remarkable product that enables the creation of a fully-featured CAD model from a scan or point cloud from any device that can produce one of these files. It can return planes, sketches with constraints, dimensions, features, and can generally build completely native, history-based CAD models for a variety of the most common CAD systems including Solidworks, Solid Edge, Inventor, Pro-e, Creo, and NX. Today, the requirements for a fully native CAD [...]
